Good checklists
The Loved the checklists and had great tips. The book is Worth it for the checklists alone. I should have recommended packing labels that work with a mobile apps. they use a QR code and they have been a godsend. You just scan the box and get a complete list or search the app for your item. I used them in my last move and made the unboxing so much easier.

Andrew Mellen is amazing as an organizer and as an author! He's very relatable - he gets real life. He has personal experiences with moving. I appreciate that he is a bit of a "tough love" organizer; he does his best to uncover the lies we believe and help the reader realize why we choose to believe the lie.

What a great resource!
I have worked with Andrew in the past, and when we decided to move, I knew the first thing I needed to do was get my hands on this book. It did not disappoint!

Short quick read with timelines and checklists for planning your move. I highlighted the items that applied to my move, wrote in my own to dos, and transferred everything to a Notion template for perpetual use.
